The more we devaluate the dollar the the more prices go up. If consSumers are really concerned about these things which affect their family income, then they should direct more attention to government and demand of those they elected that the budget be balanced—because therein lies the reason for higher prices. “Largely due to higher volume prouction,\ increased efficiency by all the i try but especially by the farmer, and by teamwork among producers, processors and distributors, the ‘take’ for food from the. average family income has been held to around 25 per cent—just about the same proportion that it was 10° or 20 years ago. However, the consumer now gets a great deal more for his dollar in such special services as ready-mixed, pre-cooked and frozen packaged foods. “Of course, there were other factors responsible for increased food prices during 1958. The long period of drought reduced beef production;‘and a shortage of beef. created higher prices. Weather and other conditions caused the moderate rise in prices for fruits and some fresh vegetables. But despite the increased cost to the housewife, the farmer on the average gets but 39 cents of the dollar she spends for food. The exact amount varies, naturally with the product. " “Of the highly processed foods, many are either ready for the oven or ready to serve—such as canned fruits—and net the farmers the smallest return percentage wise. As an example, a pound loaf of ‘bread costs the consumer approximately 24 cents. The wheat farmer gets 3.2 cents, with the balance going for other ingredients, milling, baking, wrapping, transportation, distributing, plus a variety of taxes. At the other extreme, the farmer’s share of the price of a dozen eggs’ is about 67 per cent. “As technology improves, consumer demands on the food industry for higher nutritional values, . greater sanitation, higher quaity, better taste, more time saving services and merchandises appeal, are being met and at times even anticipated by the industry. It is probable that fulfillment of these demands wil tend to further reduce the farmer’s share of the consumer’s dollar rather than inlegislative measures which will first four ave been all Cap.

Some of the toughest battles have been in the labor field, where the farmers have been fighting against the imposition of a minimum wage, unemployment insurance, and other socalled. “labor reforms.” Farmers throughout the state have been vitally concerned with these issues, and have urgently communicated with their legislators. eet € WATER Perhaps the most outstanding construction of water projects State, either singly or in cooperation with other levels of government, to bring water from the areas of surplus to the areas of deficiency.
